Every depth chart calls take
3401–3425 of 5,070
Andrew Wylie to be 2nd on the depth chart
Andrew Wylie also received work at left tackle, giving Washington another option behind Coleman
Drew Stevens to be 1st on the depth chart
Moving forward, Stevens still has the advantage based on the larger body of work, but his first truly bad day keeps this from becoming a settled competition
- PendingJosh AlperDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jared Goff to be 1st on the depth chart
the newly signed Josh Dobbs is now set to back up Jared Goff in Detroit.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 10, 2026 - PendingJosh AlperDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Joshua Dobbs to be 2nd on the depth chart
the newly signed Josh Dobbs is now set to back up Jared Goff in Detroit.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 10, 2026 J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
It’s almost inevitable that both Murray and McCarthy play for the Vikings in 2026. ... McCarthy will likely have to play
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
If he can keep this up ... then he could earn the starting job. We were already likely to see him this season. Now I’m wondering if we’ll see him in Week 1.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
That play felt emblematic of what’s to come with this QB competition. It’s only nominally close. For those watching intently, the winner is already obvious. It’s going to be Murray.
Brandon Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
Brandon Coleman is expected to step in while Tunsil is out
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
I'll just call it here again one more time. Deshaun Watson is gonna start for Cleveland. I've always thought that.
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
Carson Beck is starting to establish himself, and I think he's gonna be the first rookie to start a game this year.
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
He is set up to start first out of the rookie class because the quarterback's chosen in front of him... I don't think this is an overreaction.
Tate Ratledge to be 1st on the depth chart
Tate Ratledge, who is expected to be the team's starting right guard but did spend time at center last year in training camp, will also get refreshed on playing the position.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
we'd predict at this point that we will see Malik Willis at least for a series or two in the preseason opener
Domonique Orange to be 2nd on the depth chart
At the moment, it appears that Orange and Drake Rodriguez will split time in the middle of the purple and gold defensive line.
Levi Drake Rodriguez to be 2nd on the depth chart
At the moment, it appears that Orange and Drake Rodriguez will split time in the middle of the purple and gold defensive line. Orange has looked good in training camp, but Rodriguez is showing that he's not ready to head to the bench any time soon.
Will McDonald IV to be 2nd on the depth chart
Backups: Will McDonald IV, Joseph Ossai
T'Vondre Sweat to be 1st on the depth chart
Interior defensive line Starters: T'Vondre Sweat, David Onyemata, Harrison Phillips
Demario Davis to be 1st on the depth chart
Linebacker Starters: Jamien Sherwood, Demario Davis ... There won't be a change at the starting linebacker room.
Brandon Stephens to be 1st on the depth chart
Cornerback Starters: AZ Thomas, Brandon Stephens, Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jamien Sherwood to be 1st on the depth chart
Linebacker Starters: Jamien Sherwood, Demario Davis ... There won't be a change at the starting linebacker room.
David Bailey to be 1st on the depth chart
EDGE Starters: David Bailey, Kingsley Enagbare
Isaiah Williams to be 4th on the depth chart
Williams is a guaranteed lock to be the team's fourth receiver
Kingsley Enagbare to be 1st on the depth chart
EDGE Starters: David Bailey, Kingsley Enagbare
Cade York to be 1st on the depth chart
Special teams Starters: Cade York, Austin McNamara, Thomas Hennessy ... Quick change to the kicking battle, with York adding a few better practices than Sanders.
Armand Membou to be 1st on the depth chart
Offensive line Starters: Olu Fashanu, Dylan Parham, Josh Myers, Joe Tippmann, Armand Membou
